ENGLAND paceman Darren Gough suffered another injury scare yesterday. Gough was missing for much of the Yorkshire Phoenix' National League Division One match against Essex at Headingley after leaving the field with a hamstring injury after bowling only 3.1 overs in the Eagles' innings of 211 for six.

The Phoenix were bowled out for their lowest ever

one-day score as they slumped to a 157-run defeat to Essex.

Gough had ice-pack treatment from the club's physio and a spokesman said the injury would be reassessed this morning after a night's rest.

Gough, who missed most of last season with knee trouble, is hoping it is only a minor setback to his hopes of claiming a place in England's one-day squad for the forthcoming series against Pakistan.
